ayla : Illuminated Skye Moment of Bliss

Moment of Bliss

Posted on May 19th, 2008 by ayla : Illuminated Skye ayla
I'm really too tired to be on the computer, let alone blog, but I just had to make mention of my moment of bliss today.  I've been working my behind off in the garden and in the yard.  It's a very uncooperative yard.  Grass grows where I don't want it to, for example in my flower beds and strawberry garden, and yet the only thing that will grow on the huge lawn seems to be goat heads (otherwise known as sandspurs in other parts of the country) (why does Idaho have weird names for everything).  Anywayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy....so there I was sore, and hot, and filthy and on my way to try to unearth my strawberry plants from the grass and weeds yet again.  As I passed under the apple tree I could smell the lilac bushes that are just starting to bloom, as well as the apple blossoms and was delighted to hear what sounded like a million bees buzzing.  I stopped for a minute and it was like something out of a fairy tale.  I had all of these delicious smells and sounds and white pedals falling down on me like warm white snow.  I just stood there, enchanted.  Don't tell anyone, but then I closed my eyes, spread my arms, and twirled!  I was The Little Princess in The Secret Garden.

How precious! and Shhhh! I won't tell if you won't tell that I am going to do the very same thing in just the right place at just the right time–and i will dedicate my twirl to you and to the spirit of your beloved dogs, all of 'em!

Zoey, Joey, Crickett, Cujo, Winnie & Valentine all thank you.  Cujo did his toy poodle dancy-prancy, Crickett teared up, Zoey danced with her angel wings, Joey whined with delight, and Winston got so happy and relaxed that he farted.  He's always farting.  I'm not sure what Valentine did because he's an outdoors dog (Ryan's) but I think he started digging a hole to China.  That seems to be his favorite pastime these days. 


Thanx for stopping by Mary.  Hurry - the apple blossoms are blowing away quickly!

I think you should twirl often and regularly … yes.

Our CT apple blossoms are all gone… so is most of the lilac.  I love this blog, Ayla.  Everything that you write is straight from the heart.  I really should stop by more often… I love reading what you have to say.  Yes, you were the Little Princess, and I'm sure you looked beautiful in that moment!
Hugs!
